Next to announcing "I'm pregnant!", revealing if it's a boy or girl is big news ... so why not find a creative way to share it? Whether looking for a climactic end to a gender reveal party or just a clever photo or message to fill people in, there are plenty of ways to broadcast a baby's sex that will make this moment all the more memorable. And take it from us here: This is a moment that should be memorable. Don't worry -- we've got you covered...

We all know the couples who go a little extra on their special events. The big wedding, the perfect engagement photos, the Facebook albums perfectly labeled from their trip to Hawaii. Well, it's time to give them a run for their money using some amazing ideas for gender reveals. Just think of it this way: perfectly planned and executed gender reveals = amazing photo op = Instagram gold!

And these ideas can show us how. Using the old "blue" for boy and "pink" for girl code, couples can reveal a baby's gender with everything from fireworks to bubble gum, scratch 'n' sniff cards to confetti. And that's just the beginning. Once the gender reveal brainstorming has begun, who knows what other fun and creative ideas might be thought of?

Just check out these creative ideas to get the gears turning with some fun possibilities.

Blow It Up

One cute way to convey the news is by posing for a series of photos where you and hubby hold up two balloons -- one blue, one pink -- then you blow up the gender you're having. Write a "B" and "G" on the balloons if you think it'll help people figure it out!

Sweet News

Hey, ever notice how Hershey's chocolate bars have a "he" and "she" right on the label? Well, with a little clever wrapping job (check out rkleyman @ instructables for instructions), you've created a clever gender reveal candy bar.

Open a Box of Balloons

Gender reveal boxes are big, and for good reason: They treat this moment like Christmas morning, delivering the news as you open the box! You can even surprise yourself by having your OB/GYN place the gender in an envelope, then enlisting a friend to pack your present. Just fill the box with blue or pink helium balloons, then keep the cameras rolling when you open it to capture the excitement!

Color Your Cake

Gender reveal parties call for cake ... so why not hide the news inside? Just use food coloring to make the cake batter pink or blue, then frost to hide the evidence and write an enticing message on top. Or, if cupcakes are more your speed, completely frost the tops so guests will have to dig in to find out.

Say It With Bubble Gum

Here's a fun gumball-themed gender reveal idea from The Letter B Photography: Capture a series of three photos where the first shows you and your partner with gumballs in your hands -- one red (or pink), one blue. Then you each chew the gum and blow bubbles for photo #2 ... then you pop the color bubble you're not having in #3. We think people will figure it out by process of elimination!

Scratch-Off Cards

If you're revealing your baby's gender by snail mail, it doesn't have to be via plain old letters. Instead, send them gender reveal scratch-off cards for a clever twist on sharing the news. ($11.99 for 25 @ Amazon)

Shower Party Guests With Confetti

Nothing says "we're celebrating!" like confetti -- which is why these gender reveal confetti push pops are the perfect party favor. Just gather some guests then tell them when to let 'em fly, and pink or blue confetti will shower guests with the good news. ($34 for 8, genderreveal/Etsy)

Fireworks-worthy Moment

What could possibly be more exciting than fireworks? That may explain why Kate Callan and her husband decided to reveal their baby's gender -- even to themselves! -- with some pyrotechnics in their back yard. "We got the gender results in an envelope from my OB/GYN, but didn't look at it," she says. "Then we got some fireworks in both red and blue. Once our guests were gathered on our deck, we entrusted one friend to open the envelope and fire off the right color: blue for a boy! It was truly one of the most memorable and heart racing experiences of my life. The little man was kicking like crazy throughout the whole thing."

Crack Open Confetti Eggs

Confetti-filled eggs, also called cascarones, are another fun tradition to break the news, so to speak! To make them, dye the eggs, fill with either blue or pink confetti, then glue on a tissue paper top. Then guests crack them over each others' heads to see what color's inside.

Gender Reveal Hair Dye

Take a walk on the wild side and plan a hair appointment for the big reveal. Simply ask the hairdresser to cover her mirror and let her work her magic! Give her a note with the gender on it before she starts and make sure there is someone around to tape the big reveal. Because when that towel drops...pure tears.

Fan of motorcycles? Why not rev the engine and let the plume of smoke let the world know what gender baby is going to be. Put a little Holi Color Powder (amazon, $19.95) in the exhaust of a motorcycle (or car!) and then let 'er rip! Just make sure to do a test run first!

Get Silly String'd!

A great way to get guests involved at a baby shower! This will take a little sneaking as to get everyone on board without spoiling the surprise for mom and dad. Just make sure to get a trusted friend or family member to hand out the appropriate color silly string and be prepared to be showered with love!

Pop a Balloon

Popping balloons is always a good choice. Try a balloon kit like this one from Pom Joy Fun ($13.95, amazon), which will spray confetti everywhere in the color of baby's gender. Talk about going out with a bang!

A Gender Reveal Piñata

Who doesn't love a piñata? There are two ways to go about a gender reveal piñata: 1) use the classic piñata stick and swing at it until it breaks, or 2) have a pull tab, which is less work for mom and dad. This is a great idea if one wants to get other children involved, too!

Gender Reveal Cupcakes!

This is a unique twist on the traditional gender reveal cake. Hand out cupcakes to all of the guests at the gender reveal party and excitedly wait while everyone takes a bite! Inside will be either blue or pink sprinkles!

We know these are similar to the confetti party poppers, but doesn't a confetti cannon just seem like fun? Make sure to hold the canon away from your face as you shoot. Is there ever a bad time for confetti? We don't think so.

Gender-Reveal Smoke Bombs
